Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think,

according to the power at work within us,to him be glory in the church in Christ Jesus throughout all generations,forever and ever. Amen.- Eph. 3:2021 ESV

Do you know how much it matters that you are asking God in faith to do great things among Shiites? God has been listening to you, dear friend of His Shiite Bride!

Recently I met a precious Shiite follower of Jesus whom I will call Ali. He told me in village after village, and city after city in his land, God is miraculously healing Shiites and bringing many of them into Jesus' sheepfold.

I asked Ali if he had ever seen anyone raised from the dead. His eyes got really big and he smiled, "Oh, yes! One! We've had one."

He said that he and nine other Shiite followers of Jesus gathered around the body of a dead Shiite man and began to pray. "We prayed, and we prayed," Ali told me, "and we asked God to raise him back to life."

At this point, like an airport ground person waving his arms up and down to direct an airplane into it's proper gate, Ali extended his arms down and then UP and said, "God raised him back to life! The man sat right up in that hospital bed and then we began to really praise God together!"

God answered those believers' prayer inside the hospital room in that staunchly Shiite land, and YOUR prayer as well wherever you are, friend of His Shiite Bride.

Imagine my joy when followers of Jesus from that land told me that so many Shiites are beginning to follow Jesus there that "you cannot even count them!"

In fact, a couple of them told me that in a year or two, they expect their entire city of nearly two million people will have heard the Good News and responded to follow Jesus.

Does God do far more abundantly than all that we can ask or think? (Eph. 3:20) YES!

Not every area where Shiites live has heard the Good News and experienced the tsunami of God like Ali's homeland, but pray they will hear, and ask God to move in their lands as well.

Keep asking God to display His awesome power to Shiites. From now through the end of Ramadan in September, Friend of His Shiite Bride, pray they come into Jesus' sheepfold by the tens of thousands!
